I was a big fan of the Kafkaesque/Borgesian tones in the Citadel.

Predictablish episode but the filmmaking was terrific once again. The first 20 minutes or so were flawless.

I try not to get caught up in the small stuff (like where did the dogs go in episode 1 of this season), but I feel like it's worth asking: how did Benjen expect them to get to/past the Wall? He could've at least given them the horse.

It is pretty clear by the other ships that the final scene takes place quite awhile after the other parts of the finale.cutuphalfdead wrote:They could teleport like Varys did.Simple Torture wrote:I try not to get caught up in the small stuff (like where did the dogs go in episode 1 of this season), but I feel like it's worth asking: how did Benjen expect them to get to/past the Wall?

I saw some Martell sails in that fleet. So it's the ships that teleport, not him.cutuphalfdead wrote:They could teleport like Varys did.Simple Torture wrote:I try not to get caught up in the small stuff (like where did the dogs go in episode 1 of this season), but I feel like it's worth asking: how did Benjen expect them to get to/past the Wall?

I'll have to watch Sam's scene again; someone on reddit says the big contraptions in the Citadel are the same as the opening credits.

The Citadel scene was good too. I loved the look on Sam's face seeing the library.

There's a theory among book readers that the contraptions in the Citadel control the seasons and they can make winter comeSimple Torture wrote:I'll have to watch Sam's scene again; someone on reddit says the big contraptions in the Citadel are the same as the opening credits.

If you're a fan of Game of Thrones or of great tv and you didn't love every second of this episode... You're a terrible person and a lousy contrarian asshole. And you don't deserve tv. Or Game of Thrones. Or happiness.

Really happy for Tyrion being recognized by Dany. She can't find a better hand.
